Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and composition for the treatment of skin conditions such as acne. Either natural or artificial sea water is enhanced by the addition of magnesium until it is at least about double the normal natural concentration of magnesium and then used as an application to the skin such as the face for treating acne and improving the appearance of the skin.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A composition for the treatment of acne comprising an artificial or natural sea water to which the magnesium concentration is at least 2000 parts per million. 
   
   
       2 . A composition according to  claim 1  wherein the magnesium concentration is at least 8000 parts per million. 
   
   
       3 . A composition according to  claim 1  wherein the magnesium concentration is at least 40,000 parts per million. 
   
   
       4 . A composition according to  claim 1  wherein the magnesium is present in at least one of magnesium oxide, magnesium carbonate, magnesium chloride, magnesite and dolomite. 
   
   
       5 . A method of treating the skin comprising applying artificial or natural sea water which has a concentration of magnesium of at least 2000 parts per million. 
   
   
       6 . A method according to  claim 5  wherein the sea water is naturally occurring sea water which has magnesium added sufficient to comprise at least 2000 parts per million. 
   
   
       7 . A method according to  claim 5  wherein the sea water is artificial sea water. 
   
   
       8 . A method according to  claim 5  wherein the treating of skin is for the purpose of treating acne.

       10 . A composition for the treatment of a skin condition comprising a liposome containing artificial or natural seawater. 
   
   
       11 . A composition according to  claim 10  having a magnesium concentration of at least 2000 parts per million. 
   
   
       12 . A composition according to  claim 10  wherein the sea water is artificial sea water. 
   
   
       13 . A composition according to  claim 10  wherein the sea water is natural sea water. 
   
   
       14 . A method of treating the skin comprising applying an effective amount of artificial sea water sufficient to treat the skin. 
   
   
       15 . A method according to  claim 13  wherein the amount is effective to treat acne. 
   
   
       16 . A method according to  claim 13  wherein treating of skin is for the treatment of the condition selected from the group comprising eczema, rosacea and psoriasis.
